The Holidays are upon us, and with it come celebrations, parties and all sorts of seasonal treats. For people with gluten sensitivities, this is not the easiest time of year to navigate. Gluten is a mixture of proteins that occur naturally in wheat, rye, barley and crossbreeds of these grains. In the U.S., 3 million people are estimated to suffer from Celiac Disease, where the body’s natural defenses react to gluten by attacking the lining of the small intestines, which can result in malabsorption and nutrient deficiencies. Up to 1 percent of the U.S. population might be gluten sensitive. The best treatment is to avoid gluten altogether...

This year my almost-three-year-old, Bailey, is very excited for Christmas and for Santa to visit, so I’ve been making a list and checking it twice. Lately I’ve been reading a lot about how important imaginative play is for children, so I’d like to buy her a few things this holiday that will inspire her imagination, which is just starting to really bloom. I’m also trying to find items that are handcrafted, eco-friendly, and safe. If they are locally made or fair trade, even better. Here are a few things I’ve found so far. If you have any gift ideas to share, please leave a comment and let us know! ...

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), about 70 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep problems, and they stress the importance of healthy and sufficient sleep for our overall health. Public health announcements have cropped up on highway signs warning people of the dangers of drowsy driving. Sleep problems not only lead to increased risk of injury and lost work productivity, but they appear to contribute to chronic conditions like obesity and depression as well. So, how did we get so sleep deprived? It’s an interesting question to ask, especially considering the fact that we are located less than 30 miles from NYC, a city that,...

I purchased this cold cream as I get severe dry skin in the winter. No 'moisturizing oil, lotion, or cleanser' was potent enough to help my dry skin. Until I found this!!! Seriously tried all natural products/ brands under the sun- including josie maran, tarte, glamglow, first aid beauty, boscia, julique, nude. Literally you name it- I've tried it. This is the best thing you can apply for dry winter skin- I even use it for my hands. Thanks for making a product that does what it claims! I can now stop shopping around for a cure.

I am not and do not have a baby, lol but I do have sensitive skin! I saw it in whole foods and it was fragrance free and made for sensitive skin so I picked it up! I love it! It doesn't break me out yet it is hydrating and feels amazing on skin. I wake up and my skin feels so soft but not oily. Also the purple packaging is really pretty! This is only 14$ where I live and a tube lasts me like 3 months! I would totally reccomend it. I have skin that is prone to small breakouts but nothing major. I also love the refining toner btw!
